    6 punctures in 16 months, help!

    Mr Tuffy tire liners. Been rolling with them for decades. Also +1 for Continental tires. Got a set of Conti Ride Tours on my not yet electric grocery getter.

    High voltage bms

    The Extreme Bull K6 uses a 32s controller but thats for a dual motor setup. Some links I found. Dunno if any of this might be useful. Also doing a search for 32s speed controller BMS seems to yield interesting results. https://www.ebay.com/itm/295655663248

    TIG torch for battery spot welding

    The real shocker is when you get the bill for the power supply. Pun intended.

    EV Bonfire at Luton Airport carpark

    Agreed. But do you know what else is fundamentally wrong? The Chevy Bolt. :ROFLMAO:

    EV Bonfire at Luton Airport carpark

    Maybe we should label this the "Chevy Bolt Effect?" It is the single most recalled hybrid out there. I cant imagine very many Priuses catching fire. https://jalopnik.com/hybrid-cars-light-on-fire-more-than-electric-and-gas-po-1848454698

    Good spot, Hillhater. Cant say I'm surprised with all of the fake news floating around these days.

    Clickbait and sensationalized journalism typically lack perspective. This is not by accident.

    Had to return a beer to the bar today

    Bought a 6 pack of some Old Bust Head stout last week. I know what this stuff is supposed to taste like as I've had it at least 3 times before and more than 1/2 of the 6 pack had simply gone sour. Now I dont want to sound mean or snobbish or anything, but lets just say this particular liquor...

    The rules of Endless Sphere

    Well thanks. But to be honest my previous comment was just a play on words, calling myself a vending machine and all. I dont have any plans to be a dispensary of either electronics or mobility devices of any sort, though the thought crosses my mind on a regular basis. Now that we've got that...

    Was that a sarcastic dig at me personally or a general statement of our impending "soft landing" recession?

    Ok I'm still not vending but soon I will be vending. I will be the best at vending. In fact I will be a vending machine. Just you watch. :cool:

    You might want to make a new thread since the title of this one says (Sold).

    Batteries in parallel

    The best deal I found was that one guy from Sausalito that was willing to rewind a Savox motor for my still not finished Ebike project. If I ever ask for another motor rewind I'm going to pay him more money, he's far too humble, lol. Btw that LRK winding is suuuper smooth. You just cant find...

    Your Creation's Before & After Pics

    Some before pics of my eventual Ebike build. I took a break from the process to display a little patriotism for the 4th of July. If you were downtown in Washington DC near the national mall you might have seen me riding around.

    Pedal generator for lightweight car with all electric drive

    This might give you some ideas. I havent tried it but I like the concept of being able to pedal at a standstill and charge vehicle batteries. Would also allow a separation between electric and human powered drivetrains. Also I think adding a flywheel to the generator side of this setup would...

    Willing to pay $ for guidance and mastermind needed! i want to build a 48v headway cell 16s 1p

    Again no funds necessary. I do this for fun. Am seriously considering changing my username to ThrottleBob now. :mrgreen:

    Willing to pay $ for guidance and mastermind needed! i want to build a 48v headway cell 16s 1p

    With that setup you would have one busbar connecting the two rows of cells while the rest of the busbars would connect each cell to the next along each row. In the pic I made those green lines would be the busbars on the front row of cells along the bottom. Something to know about those...

    Anyone use a Flipsky VESC based controller?

    Ok thanks. No need to continue in this thread then. :thumb:

    Anyone use a Flipsky VESC based controller?

    Looking to buy one or two to finally finish my first DIY project. They have a 75100 and a 75200. The 75200 sounds like a better idea for more overhead and less chance of overheating, but the description is strange. "For Fighting Robot Surfboard AGV Robot" :shock...

    LifePO4 @ 0V, one recovery, one failure

    I bought a bunch of those K2 26650 cells that BatteryHookup had last year and out of 240 total, just one arrived at close to 0v. Was able to revive it by trickle charging with a cheap DC DC converter and it works just find. The only caveat is it does lose voltage a bit faster when left in...

    Help with Ebike Headlights

    The wording on the Scamazon page for that DC DC converter is a bit suspect. As long as the voltage is within the correct paramaters the size of the battery does not matter one bit. That 180 watt rating is for the output so you wouldnt want to use a device that requires more than 15 amps...

    Help with Ebike Headlights

    Just because your battery can output 3,000 watts doesnt mean a bike light or a DC-DC converter will burn out due to an overcurrent situation. My question is why would you bother trying to step down from 72v to 12v when you could just get a bike headlight with a built in battery? This is the...
